Arrangements shall also be made to ensure the continuation of the output of water by the automatic starting of a fire pump required by these regulations.(5) In every ship of Class I at least one fire hose shall be provided for every hydrant fitted in compliance with these regulations. Such hoses shall be used only for the purpose of extinguishing fires or for testing the fire extinguishing appliances at fire drills and surveys. (6) In every ship of Class I where in any machinery space of Category A, access is provided at a low level from an adjacent shaft tunnel, 2 hydrants fitted with hoses and nozzles shall be provided external to, but near the entrance to, that machinery space. Where such access is not provided from a tunnel but is provided from another space or spaces there shall be provided in one of those spaces 2 hydrants fitted with hoses and nozzles near the entrance to the machinery space of Category A. Such provisions need not be made when the tunnel or adjacent spaces are not part of an escape route. (7) In every ship of Class I all required hydrants in machinery spaces shall be fitted with hoses and nozzles. (L.N. 410 of 1995) (8) In every ship of Class I in every special category space and ro/ro cargo space the number of hydrants with hoses shall be so arranged that at least 2 jets of water each from a single length of hose, not emanating from the same hydrants, may reach any part of the space. Such hydrants shall be positioned near the accesses to the protected spaces. (9) In every ship of Class I at least 3 water fog applicators in addition to the nozzles required by these regulations shall be provided in special category spaces. (Enacted 1991) Cap 369Y reg 4 Portable fire extinguishers in accommodation, cargo and service spaces (1) In every ship of Class I there shall be provided on each deck below the bulkhead deck a sufficient number of portable fire extinguishers so that at least 2 shall be readily available for use in every accommodation space, service space and control station between main vertical zones. In enclosed accommodation spaces, service spaces and control stations above the bulkhead deck at least one such extinguisher shall be provided for use on each side of the ship in such spaces. The number of such extinguishers in such spaces shall not be less than 5 in a ship of 1000 tons or over. In addition at least one portable fire extinguisher and a fire blanket shall be provided in every galley; provided that where the deck area of any galley exceeds 45 square metres, at least 2 such extinguishers and 2 such blankets shall be provided. (2) In every ship of Class I at least one portable fire extinguisher shall be provided for use in each control station. (3) One of the portable fire extinguishers intended for use in any space shall be available near the entrance to that space. (4) In every ship of Class I there shall be provided in each special category space and cargo space intended for the carriage of motor vehicles with fuel in their tanks for their own propulsion- (a) at least 2 portable extinguishers, suitable for extinguishing oil fires, for every 40 metres length of deck space, so arranged that at least one extinguisher is available on each side of the space and at least one extinguisher is available at each access to the space; (b) one portable foam applicator unit complying with the requirements of Schedule 6; not less than 2 such applicators shall be available in the ship for use in any such space. (Enacted 1991) Cap 369Y reg 5 Fixed fire extinguishing systems in cargo spaces (1) (a) In every ship of Class I of 1000 tons or over and in every ship of Class I engaged in the carriage of dangerous goods, there shall be provided a fixed gas fire extinguishing system complying with the requirements of Schedule 10 to protect every cargo space (other than special category spaces and spaces where a fixed pressure water spraying system is fitted in accordance with subregulations (3) and (4)). (b) The Director may exempt any ship (other than a ship engaged in the carriage of dangerous goods) from the requirements of subregulation (1) if he is satisfied that to require compliance therewith would be unreasonable on account of the short duration of the voyages on which the ship is engaged.(2) In every ship of Class I there shall be provided in each special category space a fixed pressure water spraying system complying with the requirements of Schedule 9. The Director may permit in lieu of such a system any other fixed fire extinguishing system provided that it has been shown by full-scale test in conditions simulating a flowing petrol fire in a special category space to be not less effective in controlling fires likely to occur in such a space. (3) In every ship of Class I there shall be provided in each cargo space (other than special category space) intended for the carriage of motor vehicles with fuel in their tanks for their own propulsion a fixed pressure water spraying system complying with the requirements of Schedule 9, or a fixed gas fire extinguishing system complying with the requirements of Schedule 10. |
